    Hmm, so let me get this straight. If we say, send an ICBM or something directly into an Iranian military base inside Iran, Iran is gonna flex all of it’s big bad muscle and strike an asset of ours in the middle east? that’s supposed to make us tremble in fear? Sounds more like a threat you hear in junior High School from kids that are afraid to fight you.

      The world does not need you. It does not want you. The people of the world have not asked for pity, and you will certainly not receive any.

      You are not doing anything. Your government which refuses to regulate its policing, provide housing, tackle poverty, resolve immigration and has denounced socialism as evil foreign ideology is going to make the decision for you, you will pay the price though.

      All Americans have to look forward to is killing, looting and more killing as their own living standards drop each year.

        That isn’t the point. What they are in effect saying is if I hit them, they are gonna break my toy. That is cowardly for all their bravado in the past.

      Sounds like you’re very confident in your home team, which has brought home mostly Ls in the last 78 years.

        Teams have nothing to do with it. If I were to punch you in the face, I would expect you to punch me back. If instead you cowardly did nothing but later ran outside and slashed the tires on my bike. That’s cowardly. Plain and simple. After all the bravado from Iran that would certainly lose them quite a bit of respect in the Muslim world for failing to stand up against the Great Satan.

          You are saying they should bomb mainland USA in retaliation and not doing so would be cowardly? I hope you are hopped up on coke or amphetamines right now and that this is not your normal mode of operation where you are try to cheerlead for catastrophic wars using analogies involving “punching in the face” and “breaking toys”.
